About this title

From the Author

"I have designed [this volume] to make it more than a bare coin-catalogue. A lengthy historical introduction, keyed to significant individual pieces, creates an excellent corpus for the historical and/or numismatic study of the greatest years of the Empire. . . ."

"This volume . . . [is] intended not only for professional scholars but also for students whether undergraduate or graduate who may be approaching the subject for the first time as part of a course in ancient history or in a numismatic seminar. Some topics therefore will receive fuller treatment than would be normal in a work of this kind, since the Wulfing cabinet is essentially a study collection made accessible to students and the public through exhibitions, lectures, seminars, and publications." [From the Introduction].
